Ernie Ball now offers roasted necks on some of their signature models.  There are a few other guitar companies offering this option as well.  Stunning results on curly or quilted maple!!  The process darkens the wood and really brings out the figure.  Additional claims are that it affects the...

StewMac sells a countersinking bit.  I have one, but haven't tried it yet.

That was my point Cagey...my intonation and tuning is perfect without the Earvana checked with a tuner.  Someone followed up to my original post saying that such minute differences expected from the Earvana could only be checked with instrumentation....ummm, I already stated I used a tuner...

I'm getting my nut(s) cut next month...a little elmers glue and sandpaper you say? I'll keep it under advisement :-)

Thanks for pointing out that my guitar should fret in tune anyways and that the intonation affects only the opern strings.  Someone mentioned only being able to tell the difference with instrumentation, but honestly if you can't tell with a tuner...what instrumentation are you suppose to use.  I...

It's been awhile since anyone posted on this topic, but I thought I'd add my two cents since I just installed the drop in Earvana on my Warmoth LP tonight.  I've intonated the guitar in the past, but hadn't checked it before the install because I was going to be intonating it again for the...

Has anyone tried to put a Gibson overlay on a Warmoth LP headstock?  Curious how close the shapes are or if any one has done an overlay of the two in Photoshop to compare the differences.  I was originally thinking of cloning my headstock like the Gibson, but some of the decals aren't that...

That is the coolest neck plate Ive seen!!  Any idea if they sell these somewhere...this appears custom!  Bad ass!

And I can live with that answer. Thanks

Have you seen the news lately?  The housing market has sucked since mid to late 2007...hence why new houses aren't being sold/built at an alarming rate, so that is definately not a reason wood prices would be going up.  I realize that wood prices have gone up some, but surely not double.  I'm...

Everyone here is missing the point.  While there is no doubt that you can build a Warmoth guitar better looking and cheaper than a Gibson it doesn't explain WHY the prices on the LP bodies have doubled over the last 2 years.  A premium body two years ago cost you $550...now cost you $995 or...

When I bought this most recent body, it would have been nice to see what some of the hardware on it would have looked like.  I ended up Photoshopping it, which fortuneately didn't take long, but it would be nice to see this as a feature on Warmoth.  I think USA guitars does this on their...

I love that body style!  Consider this a request.  Thanks.

This thread is a lil old and was somewhat hijacked, but I think while not "insane" prices is correct....the prices for the top end bodies have doubled since I bought mine 2 years ago and is a bit alarming considering the current state of the economy.  Growing popularity of the Warmoth name and...

They called it a honey burst finish, but it's a tad darker than a honey burst IMO.
